Carmelo Anthony is red hot early on, with 15 points in the first quarter. Kristaps Porzingis has hit just one of his first seven shots, so the Knicks may need a big night from Anthony to walk off the floor with a win.

Derrick Rose will miss tonight's game against the Sacramento due to discomfort related to lingering spasms in his back. This is the second straight game Rose has missed due to the ailment, but he is not expected to miss extended time.

Rangers coach Alain Vigneault called Henrik Lundqvist "our No. 1," but said Antti Raanta made his second straight start Friday because he's "just a little bit better" at this time.
